I love Cajun food, but I have never really thought of its heritage. In researching it, I found out that a lot of Cajun people came from Nova Scotia, just like my family. This could be the reason I am so partial to the cuisine, but I think it’s the spice. Cajun food tends to have a kick, and this recipe is no different. If spicy food isn’t your thing, feel free to season with a spice blend of your choice.
Variation Tip: Not a fan of tilapia? Swap it out for a fresh piece of flounder.
